PAHIA.
(feom otjr ows coebespondent.) \ Pabia is at present looking its beat, grass Br een, grain ripe or ripening—and turnips “swelling wisibly.” Oats are in many places oat for hay, and have proved rather light, owing partly perhaps to the unaccounted dry weather, but greatly to the devastations of those inoorrigable pests—small birds. It however, bids fair to be stacked in good order, —a process which has been rather difficult of attainment for the last few years. Turnips promise well in spite of dry weather. The increasing severity of the winter seasons makes this a very necessary crop, and it is to be hoped they will continue to thrive, even til! they reach the astounding propertions of those grown with Islington’s fertilisers. I have heard that a smoking house for the purpose of drying fish in good order is about to be erected, also a large boat is to be launched for the tetter convenience of fishing. A hope both will prove a success, as great hauls of fish are often taken here in fuitable weather, and the enterprise may prove beneficial to the district.
